Unmute Presents Jaws Tip: Quickly resetting to Factory Defaults
This episode covers troubleshooting software settings, focusing on the JAWS screen reader. It demonstrates how restoring JAWS to factory defaults can help identify if custom settings are causing issues. The host shows how different settings affect the speed and verbosity of JAWS, highlighting the importance of this initial step when troubleshooting. This simple technique can often resolve issues without…
I’ve become aware that some people have had difficulty accessing her article on LinkedIn. I have also had additional thoughts on the wider topic of blind leadership, expanding upon the remarks I made when I shared her post.
I have written a detailed article on this important question, and with Emma’s permission, have included her article on the same page. I hope this helps this issue reach the widest possible audience. This truly is so important.

One of our friends is in an abusive situation rn and is looking for information about internet and phone data usage monitoring. Specifically how internet, mobile data, or mobile hotspot usage might be monitored by someone with access to the home wifi router, and to what extent it might be monitored, as in what each record might contain (like full url or ip address or domain), and how long each record might last before being deleted. They're also concerned about what information might be accessible through their phone bill if someone else is paying it.
Please boost this for reach! We really care about them and want this post to reach people who might have the answers they're looking for!!
If you're looking to explore other career options as an adult, what are some good non-governmental/agency, non-disability focused ways of doing that?
This mass layoff was a first for me, and 2 others in our alumni Slack claim this is their third layoff in a row. That's just awful, and while there are certainly layoffs outside of tech, I think I want to be done basing my livelihood so blatantly on investor speculation. I think I might be done with startups, and maybe even with tech entirely if I can't make a less speculative living with it.
So I'm looking for non-governmental resources because the last thing I want right now is to deal with a Texas state agency. And if there are disability-focused resources that treat us with dignity then they're fine too, but the "disabled will be grateful for any crumbs they get" trope needs to be taken out back and shot. I'm done being exploited, and IME disability resources don't usually factor that in.
Anyone running macOS 15 and want to test to see if this `aria-activedescendant` bug is really fixed?

It’s not that I don’t trust Apple folks, it’s just that I have learned never to take the “Fixed!” assertion at face value.

Did the behaviour of either wget or golang http change?
$ /usr/bin/wget -vvvv 192.168.42.1:4280/fedora/relea…
0 files 0% [<=> ] 0 B/s
[Files: 0 Bytes: 0 [0 B/s] Redire]
$ echo $?
0
I don't even know what this output means, but no file is downloaded. Curl works fine. The endpoint is a golang proxy I wrote. It used to work...
@hub Yeah I was wondering if it was related. Apparently it's this line that triggers it:
> w.WriteHeader(http.StatusProcessing) // http 102, RFC 2518, 10.1
Welcome to the RB family, ChromeXt 🥳 v3.8.2 was just confirmed to be reproducible:
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/org.m…
ChromeXt adds UserScript and Dev Tools support to Chrome using Xposed framework.
Making the LPR command in Mac OS actually work, with no warning / prompt by default, was definitely a mistake on Apple's part. So was making software that would send the screen contents to LPR when you pressed the wrong f key by accident.
No, I haven't actually been hit by this, but I've had very close calls.
That is just super funny! Brilliant! Well-written and very wholesome.
Nice work.
Did it ever make the Funny Five?

I wasn’t prepared to do it if I was left with 500 characters though. I mean dude! How can I do the usual Mosen waffle with only 500 characters? It would be untenable! , but now I’ve found a host that will set my character limit to what ever I like. Oh boy! Watch out world.
If I follow you now, you’ll just be advised that I’m following you from the new thing, once I do the move thing, a bit later today.
Bye.
I'm really enjoying #FairEmail app on my phone. It have been the smoothest SMTP/IMAP experience I've had on any operating system. Even Thunderbird is not as smooth and as customizable. I've been actively using it for some months now, and frankly, I'm impressed. The UI design takes few hours to get used to, but after that and with some personalization, it would look as trivial as an email client can get.
It is #OpenSource (GPLv3) btw:
“No one on Earth today has ever lived in a world where photographs were not the linchpin of social consensus — for as long as any of us has been here, photographs proved something happened. Consider all the ways in which the assumed veracity of a photograph has, previously, validated the truth of your experiences. The preexisting ding in the fender of your rental car. The leak in your ceiling. The arrival of a package.”
We are not prepared. theverge.com/2024/8/22/2422597… #photography #AI #fake
